This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client installed WPML and selected automatic translation with the option to review before publishing. However, they were not satisfied with the quality of some translations and attempted to manually edit them. Despite saving changes, an orange bar appeared indicating the translation was not finished. Various troubleshooting steps, including restarting the plugin and deleting translated pages, did not resolve the issue. After reconfiguring WPML in manual mode, only one page was successfully translated, and others were not editable.
Solution:
We advised the client to reinstall the WPML plugin and activate it. They should then proceed with the WPML setup at their WPML account dashboard and generate a sitekey to activate the plugin. For issues with saving edited translations, we provided a screen recording demonstrating how to properly save changes. If automatic translation does not fully cover sections created with third-party modules in Elementor, it is necessary to register these modules for translation as explained in our documentation: Registering Custom Elementor Widgets for Translation.
If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
